An extra CD of non-album singles, all their ‘b’ sides and some extended “dance/12” versions
The sound quality is superbly and subtly remastered, although the sound is a bit low so you have to turn the volume up a little compared to other recordings. Personally, I didn’t have a problem with the 1999 remasters, so I am happy to play either as I own them all. I don’t have a problem with the facsimile album covers all being gatefold either, even though some of the original vinyl covers were not designed as such. It really doesn’t bother me. It is the music that I go for, and it sounds great, with a nicely balanced sound. Highly recommended - a fine collection of music from this innovative, ground-breaking band. I have reviewed all the albums’ music under their individual listings.

About Me

I was born in the late 1950s, into the rock n roll years. My musical taste covers largely the late 50s to the 90s, although there are favourite artists of mine who are still releasing material now, that I still like, of course. My tastes include Rock, Soul, Reggae, Northern Soul, Motown, Blues, Jazz, Folk, Country, Funk, Disco, Glam, World Music, New Wave, Punk, Two Tone.
The opinions I express in these reviews are just that, opinions, nothing more, nothing less. If I don't like as album as much as you do, don't hold it against me! Music is all about opinions. I am not writing these reviews to provide information as to who played what, who produced the album, what barcode it has etc. There are many books and bloggers that do that. I am just wishing to express how much I like the albums in question. Sometimes I listen to a song and I just want to write down what I feel about it. Just a personal indulgence.
Please feel free to leave comments on the reviews, even if you politely disagree!
After spending most of my life in the South of England, attending hundreds of gigs, particularly in the punk era, I now live a quiet life in the Scottish Borders.
